Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine: assessment by computed tomography

S P Raskin. Orthopedics. .

Abstract

Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine may occur in either the anterior or posterior intervertebral articulations. Computed tomography is an ideal modality in evaluating these processes because of its optimal plane of section and its ability to image both osseous and soft tissue structures.
